New Jersey Multi-Ethnic Oral History Project Interview with Mrs. Nguyen Thi Kim Duc
No full textThis interview was conducted as part of the New Jersey Historical Commission Grant-funded Multi-Ethnic Oral History Project. The interviewee is Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ki Duc, a Vietnamese American, who came to the United States as a refugee in 1977. Mrs. Duc describes her life as an educator in Vietnam before and during communism. Also she discusses why she despises communism and how she eventually left Vietnam by boat becuase of the government. After going to a refugee camp in Indonesia and then being sponsered to come to New Jersey, she initially had a slow time adapting. Mrs. Duc quickly went to community college in New Jersey and became a successful computer specialist with Western Electric. Although she appreciates all the opportunities America has given her, she still misses her motherland

STRATEGIC PLANNING “TAKING THE ENEMY TO COPE WITH THE ENEMY” OF LY HONG CHUONG TO NORTH KOREA AND VIETNAM (1879-1885)
No full textWhen Western empires infiltrated Asian countries which had traditional relations
with China such as Vietnam and North Korea, Minister of Qing Dynasty - Ly Hong
Chuong, gave strategic planning “taking the enemy to cope with the enemy” in order to maintain this relationship. However, that strategic planning of Ly Hong Chuong could not compete with the power of the West, making the Qing dynasty not only unable to protect the traditional Neighbour Relationship but also being torn by the Western empires, becoming a colony

THE MILITARY IN VIETNAM'S FEUDAL SOCIETY: A STUDY OF THE LOCAL MILITIA UNDER THE NGUYỄN DYNASTY’S POLICY OF "LODGING SOLDIERS AMONG FARMERS" (1802-1885)
No full textThis paper focuses on clarifying the role of local militia, a crucial force in the policy of “lodging soldiers among farmers” under the Nguyen Dynasty. To elucidate this issue, the author employs two primary research methods
in history: historical and logical approaches. The historical method aids in reconstructing the historical picture as objectively as possible, while the logical method facilitates the author in making assessments and evaluations of
the objective laws governing the research problem. The research materials used by the author are valuable primary sources from the Nguyen Dynasty that have been preserved to this day. Additionally, the author leverages the research of other scholars to clarify the raised issues. Through this, the paper will clarify specific issues as follows: First, the author will provide a general overview of the local militia under the Nguyen Dynasty; Second, the paper will elucidate the contributions of the local militia under the Nguyen Dynasty; Third, the paper
will evaluate the role of the local militia in the “lodging soldiers among farmers” policy of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1885). The results of this study will serve as a valuable source for clarifying the human resource management of the Nguyen feudal dynasty (1802-1885). Moreover, it is essential material for those interested
in this subject
Predictors of CEO career success in a transition economy – evidence from Vietnam
No full textReasons for the study. This thesis was motivated by the controversial associations which reflect the characteristics of career success stipulated by numerous sets of predictors, whereby career success may be evaluated either subjectively and objectively, or by a combination of the two aspects. Originating from recommendations made by influencial scholars, a customised set of moderators was selected to investigate the associations. Moreover, the author has established a population in a novel context, focusing on chief executive officers (CEOs) of listed firms in a Southeast Asian transition economy. All of these factors facilitated the testing of hypotheses partly developed from related theories, namely, psychological success model, human capital theory, political skill framework, five-factor model of personality, protean career theory, managerial power theory and Judge et al.’s (1995) model.Purpose. The research aimed to empirically examine the controversial associations characterised by the relationships between the sets of predictors and two popular aspects of career success, as well as between these aspects themselves. The research covered the important sets of predictors, namely, human capital, political skill, protean career orientation, managerial power and objective-vs-subjective career success. Additionally, the study investigated the various effects of moderators on the important relationships, which included the effects of firm size and ownership structure on political skill - career success and protean career orientation-career success, as well as the effect of the employment sector on personality traits - career success relationships.Design/methodology/approach. The study design employed the correlational research approach and the cross-sectional survey method, while the database was constructed from two main sources: the quota sampling survey of the 179 CEOs of the 179 firms publicly listed in the two stock exchange markets in Vietnam, and the archival hand-collected data extracted from the Vietnamese General Department of Taxation, gleaned from annual reports, boards’ reports, financial reports and websites of the 179 firms, as well from trustworthy websites, namely, www.cafef.vn and www.finance.vietstock.vn. The SPSS Statistics 22 program was employed for carrying out data-preparation-and-screening, in order to justify the erroneous-and-missing data, the outliers, the common method variance, the sample size, to calibrate the assumptions, to validate the unidimensionality and reliability, as well as to confirm the validity. Moreover, the Mplus 7.0 program was utilised for conducting the structural equation modelling (SEM) in order to evaluate the direct relationships. The program was also employed to carry out the latent moderated structural equation analysis to determine the latent variable interactions. This program was beneficial in providing the multi-group SEM analysis for reflecting an interaction between a continuous predictor and a dichotomous moderator.Findings. Particularly interesting were the findings that the measure of objective career success was positively associated with the two measures pertaining to the subjective one. Another finding was that human capital, political skill, protean career orientation and managerial power sets of predictors resulted in a highly reliable characterisation of career success, where it was suggested that the variables leading to objective career success were not different from those linked to subjective career success. Additionally, the results partly confirmed that there were slight moderating effects of firm size and ownership structure on the political skill - career success relationship and on the protean career orientation – career success relationship, and of the employment sector on the personality traits – career success relationship. As a result, contextual factors, namely, firm size, ownership structure and the employment sector, may play a crucial role in the relationships between career success and its related predictors.Originality/value. In addition to extending the original work of Judge et al. (1995), this study makes original contributions to the field of career success research by not only testing existing theories, but also by building new theories. The study has grounded predictions with the relevant existing theories, conceptual arguments and references to past findings. Further, this study has examined a previously unexplored relationship between CEO managerial power and his career success. Additionally, the study has introduced, as well as empirically tested, the three new moderators of existing relationships, including firm size, employment sector and ownership structure. In addition, this study have constructed a holistic and novel context for demonstrating how to characterise transitional economies in South East Asia, where our novel approach invoking multiple disciplines has been applied
